In Utah, it's a 3 person race

It's an internal poll and done before the convention, so take that for what it is, but they have Trump 29, Clinton 27, and Johnson 26. I think a lot of Republicans are looking for an alternative to the loon in charge and see the Libertarians as an acceptable, more centrist alternative.
-------------------------------------

On the convention floor, Utah Republican Party Chairman James Evans took the microphone and proclaimed that not only would the party's nominee, Donald Trump, win the Beehive State in November, but he would get his largest margin of victory in the nation there.

It was a bold prediction that surprised even some delegates standing around him. Recent polls have vacillated between a tie and a small Trump lead. An internal poll conducted for Rep. Mia Love two weeks ago found Trump at 29 percent, Clinton at 27 percent and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 26 percent.

That was, however, before Trump picked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, the button-down anti-Trump, to be his running mate and before the party's four-day convention in Cleveland.

vote for either Trump or Johnson. Expect their electoral votes to go to either.

we have to have 50 state strategy and make conservatives have to defend in their "safe states".....I'm saying we can turn this election into a massive landslide and rebuke of CONSERVATIVES if played right
